Korean Air VP Orders Flight Attendant Off Plane

Submitted
 
South Korea's transport ministry is investigating reports that the daughter of the chairman of Korean Air, who oversees in-flight service, caused a plane being pushed back from a gate to return in order to expel a flight attendant. Heather Cho, 40, was in a first class seat on a flight from New York's John F Kennedy Airport for Incheon on Friday when she took issue with a flight attendant who handed her macadamia nuts in a bag and not on a dish, according to local media reports.

Those who think that the working class is below there place in the order always gets me as they cause more than one firing due to who they would like to think they are.

Ignorance is bliss. There would be less "germs" on the nuts in the package than those in a dish. And how would she know where those in the dish had come from?

Safety has only recently become important to KE. Not surprisingly Ms Cho failed to recognise the danger of having crockery and cutlery loose which become projectiles in the cabin during take off and landing.

I agreed with Heather Cho ..i've my reasons : As a first Class flyer you except the best out of the Airliner. However the whole think could have been easily played down once they reach designed Destination .Regardless of the nature , as long the protocols are followed .

Pilot should have put her off the jet for interference with flight crew performance.

Pilot was smarter. He knew she was hanging herself.
